La construcción de una nueva subjetividad dentro de la biopolítica no tiene sentido si no implica una liberación del cuerpo.

2.2 Como desarrollar una genealogía de la subjetividad que está dentro del capitalismo y en contra del capitalismo. Necesitamos encontrar una subjetividad capaz de llevar a cabo una reapropiación del espacio de “lo común”. Romper la prisión del capitalismo desde adentro.

Negri:Posted on September 24, 2010 by ffridman

Primero, es necsario reconocer cómo el capitalismo produce “lo común” y se apropia de éste. Es necesario aptunar hacia las corporaciones financieras y bancarias.

Segundo, insiste cómo pensar subjetivamente dentro del capitalismo. No tenemos un punto externo desde donde pensar hoy día de manera crítica sobre el capitalismo.

La práctica de “lo común” requiere una participación y una práctica internacional y global.

Bruno Bosteels:Posted on September 24, 2010 by ffridman

Está de acuerdo con pensar lo común en directa relación con el comunismo, sin pasar por el concepto de comunidad.

Está de acuerdo con la continudiad del proces de lucha de clases como el eje sobre el cual se estructura el conflicto político. Sin embargo, propone que una experiencia de “lo común” centrado en el “laboratorio italiano”, puede dejar por fuera importante aportes teóricos sobre la experiencia de “lo común”.

Da el ejemplo del trabajo de García Linares, vice-pte. de Bolivia.

Compromiso de la filosofía italiano en la arena política. Negri enfatiza este compromiso de la filosofía con la “alta política”.

Negri:Posted on September 24, 2010 by ffridman

La filosofía política italiana en torno a las consecuencias de estas transformaciones en el marco de un debate marxista heterodoxo, anclado al desarrollo de la escuela fenomenológica italiana en los años setenta.

Biopolítica y biopoder. ¿Cuán amplia y eficaz es la capacidad de resistencia?

Negri:Posted on September 24, 2010 by ffridman

Cuál es el grado de inmanencia de las transformaciones en las del trabajo, en la fábrica y en la estructura social, a partir del desarrollo tecnológico capitalista?

A Common Milieu: Italian Thought After 1968 and 1989

commonconf — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:48:09 +0000

by Timothy Campbell (tcc9@cornell.edu), Cornell University

For the better part of a decade the position of Italian thought in the Anglo-American academy has increasingly grown in importance. From issues as far ranging as bioethics and bioengineering, to euthanasia, to globalization, to theorizing gender, to the war on terror, works originating in Italy have played a significant, perhaps even the dominant, role in setting the terms and conditions of these debates. Indeed it might well be that no contemporary thought more than Italian enjoys greater success today in the United States. If twenty years of postmodernism and poststructuralism were in large measure the result of French exports to the United States — Derrida, Lacan, Deleuze, and Foucault — today a number of Italian philosophical exports are giving rise to a theoretical dispositif that goes under a variety of names: post-Marxist, posthuman, or most often biopolitical. Yet the fact that Italian thought enjoys such enormous success in the United States and elsewhere begs an important question, one put to me polemically recently by a prominent Italian philosopher. Is there really such a thing as contemporary Italian thought? And if there is what in the world do its proponents have in common? more
